The same apparatus described in Step (1) of Example 1-F is used in this procedure. The 250 ml dropping funnel is charged with toluene, 100 ml, and titanium tetrachloride, 10.7 g (0.0562 mole). This is added dropwise to the flask containing lithium dipropylamide while stirring magnetically. Total addition times are typically 30 minutes. The mixture is then refluxed for 1.5 hours. All volatiles are removed by distillation and under vacuum to give a deeply colored brown, oily residue. The residue is extracted with hexane, 2×150 ml, and the extracts are combined and solvent removed under vacuum. The remaining oil is transferred to a small scale distillation apparatus. Vacuum distillation at 157° C. and 0.05 mm Hg gave the product as an orange-brown liquid, titanium tetrakis(dipropylamide).
